Playaways? In case you've forgotten...

Sounds like a 3-year-old's dates at their friend's house. But this is way more fun! Playaways are little digital audio players that are pre-loaded with a book. You can find them listed in the catalog by typing in playaway. Don't type playaways, the 's' just confuses things. Check one out just like a book, put in your own AAA battery, plug in your own headphones and you are good to go. As a bonus, they are just as cute as a bug! Features: you can move back and forth in a chapter; it remembers where you stopped listening and picks up again at that spot. You can change the speed of the reader's voice! Wonder if you can get "War and Peace" read to you by a chipmunk? Word to the wise: don't pick Alvin.
